dropaway rest
D-Rock425:
I'm another one for qad best hunting rest I've ever shot.
GregMcFadden:
with the QAD, just make sure that it does not get stiffer with time. For me it was very gradual. Started just getting a little stiffer and a little stiffer over a month of shooting, until I finally convinced myself it was not just my imagination. my first one started getting stiff and squeaking (falling still worked great, the cocking was a bit stiff and noisy) after something on the order of 3-4k shots using it. Sent it in and QAD fixed it, but that does take about a month including shipping time. If it is near hunting season they will find a way to take care of you (when I spoke with them about the repair, one of the first things they asked was how long until hunting season where I was)

The QAD has metal internal parts while the Rip Cord has plastic, when you flip up the lever on the QAD it stay in the upright position unless you release at full draw, if you come to full draw and let down the lever still stays in the upright position, the Rip Cord falls weather you release or not, and the QAD rest has a brake on it to keep the arrow rest from flipping back up after your shot, when the Rip Cord has a potential to bounce back up after you realease and hit your arrow.
blackhorn:
Jason, according to the RipCord web site it does have an internal brake system to prevent it from coming back up. Might be a new thing to them?
Button Nubbs:
I personally like the lever on the qad rather than just pushing down on the back of the launcher like the ripcord.
